Reusing MPlay instances
MPlay can listen for renders and flipbook requests from Houdini.
To have MPlay listen for flipbooks, start it with mplay -K
or
mplay -flipbook
. To have MPlay listen for renders, start it with
mplay -k
(lowercase k
) or mplay -render
.
A flipbook or render will automatically start an MPlay session if no MPlay session is listening for them.
